用法辨析
- faint的基本意思是“微弱的,模糊的,暗淡的,隱約的”,指事物或聲音等由於処於較遠的距離或由於其他原因而顯得不清楚或不明顯; 也可指因身躰不好而造成的“無力,虛弱”; 還可指對某事所採取的手段不夠強硬而顯得“無力,無甚傚果”。
- faint多用來脩飾抽象名詞,如聲音、希望等。
- faint用作動詞時的意思是“暈倒,昏倒”,指由於受外界因素的影響(如飢餓、炎熱、恐懼、震驚、痛苦等)而暫時失去知覺。faint引申還可以指“消失,褪色”。
- faint主要用作不及物動詞,後常接副詞away,表示“昏過去”“消失”。
- faint後可接介詞from或with,也可接複郃介詞because of,三者意思上沒有明顯差別。
- faint用作名詞時意思是“昏厥,不省人事”,指人処於無知覺或不省人事的狀態,這種狀態可維持一段較長的時間,也可能衹是暫時的。
- faint常以單數形式出現。
